Because this program supplies 50% of flight training costs (50% of up to 50 hours), and the intent is to award it to candidates who will have a lifelong commitment to the aviation community, it is not as simple as completing and submitting an application form.

The successful candidate will need to demonstrate enthusiasm for aviation, motivation, and perseverance through a series of five tasks as part of a “competition style” scholarship application process, and the financial resources to fund half of the cost of training. That is not paid to Build-A-Pilot, but to the flight school giving the training. Build-A-Pilot also supplies funds (50% of costs, up to the 50 hour mark) to the flight school as lessons are taken.

After being awarded the scholarship, each Build-A-Pilot recipient is guided and mentored by Build-A-Pilot volunteers the entire way while becoming a certificated pilot.
